Why is that?

The downsides of being secure are a 5 minute setup, once. The thought process of "should this be secure?" is 10 minutes even if the answer is obvious. So why bother? Just be secure and move on.

Because securing things that don't need to be secured (which is most of the Internet, frankly) is a waste of time and effort. Unless you are handling credentials or other sensitive data, you don't need TLS and shouldn't bother.

Honest question. What is the current obsession with https for things that don't need to be secure like looking at drum patterns?

That ship has sailed. http has been retired.

It hasn't been retired. Using HTTPS everywhere is cargo cult nonsense. Most sites do not benefit from it, and the push to have it everywhere is obnoxious as hell.

It was obnoxious, let's encrypt solved that from the operator's perspective.

Man in the middle attacks are very real. A good ratio of routers get hacked during manufacture, or have a backdoor that get exploited by other hackers. an http hits make these exploit even easier to execute. Public WiFi are often insecure, https works around that problem (for the most part).

From an attacker perspective, widespread https has become obnoxious, yes.

Nice site, a few things: 1.youre missing the 808 clap!? 2.nice to have: beat one of each bar to be slighly darker than the others. 3.And obviously in true feature creep style: pls implement some random feature i use in my daw

the maracas channel toggles to handclap

(look just under the stylised-R of the Roland logo on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_TR-808#/media/File:TR-8... for the pair on the original front panel)

Browsers seem to lose their mind when presented with not HTTPS content these days right?

Perhaps they shouldn't but that forced the hands of many who would have otherwise dragged their feet for another century.

I get bothered by it, Chrome doesn't even allow to confirm and proceed at the boom of the warning page anymore, but there is some flag you may disable if you feel safe about all your visits.

Hopefully Google will start flagging ipv4 servers too. And one day block them by default.

Love this idea and the execution. Would it make sense to make this for synth patches or some other musical idea? I'm wondering if that's something you plan on exploring in the future?

There will be more drum machines, that's for sure. Do you mean custom/user provided synth patches?

Yea user provided synth patches for a vintage synth like a Moog or something. Not sure how feasible it is but could also be cool as a web app

You can click on small labels on the left to change some instruments. LC to LT (low conga to low tom), MC to MT (mid conga to mid tom), HC to HT (high conga to high tom), MA to CP (maraca to clap), CL to RS (claves to rimshot).

I agree with the need for bar separation.

The last one, yeah:))
